<br />
As we get closer to hurricane season<br />
here on the Gulf coast,<br />
I remember just how much<br />
force is behind a hurricane.<br />
The most memorable hurricane for me was<br />
Hurricane Beulah in 1967.<br />
<br />
We lost everything.<br />
<br />
I hope this season is a quiet one.<br />
<br />
Savor the Day!<br />
